Does anyone know how to get rid of the 'shudder'/ 'clicking' noise in the A/C vent mode linkages without removing/ replacing them? I heard if you use spray grease in just the right spot the noise will go away.
I've had a search and can't find any good info, and I don't have enough time to pull it apart to find the actual cause.

Yeah I've tried that, there is a specific spot to do it but I can't seem to find it.
